22 Ağustos 2026The Guardian
  • Premium bond holders will see an increase in their chances of winning as NS&I announces an uptick in the prize fund rate. Starting in September, there will be an estimated 308,000 additional prizes available compared to the previous month.
  • This change affects the 22 million individuals who invest in these government-backed savings bonds.
  • Premium bonds are a popular savings product in the UK, offering the chance to win tax-free prizes instead of earning interest. The recent adjustment in the prize fund rate is part of NS&I's ongoing efforts to maintain competitiveness and customer interest in their savings products.
  • The increase in prize availability reflects a strategic move by NS&I to enhance the appeal of premium bonds amidst a competitive savings landscape. By raising the prize fund, NS&I not only incentivizes current bondholders but may also attract new investors looking for better returns.
